This html page allows us testing our service. If we open this page in our favourite internet browser, we will see two text-areas and one button.
On the left is text-area, which contains our request (with our name). When we press send button, we send this request to our service. We can see response from our service in text-area on the right side. When is everything in order, we can see greeting in response message.

We can enhanced this example by editing method in our service. We must edit java and wsdl file in our SU's.
